Absolutely nothing was too much trouble.

Posted By Surfb93

"Absolutely nothing was too much trouble."

About: Victoria Hospital / Urology

(as the patient),

I recently underwent a radical prostatectomy at the VHK. From the moment I arrived for my procedure till the minute I left, my care was first class and I am pretty sure it wouldn't have been any better had I gone private.

From the surgical team to the amazing(!) staff on Ward 54, my care and treatment was absolutely first class. The hard working night and day shift doctors on Ward 54 could not have done any better, what a highly skilled, professional, friendly and dedicated team, I only wish I could remember all there names. Beth and Alison were superb but the whole team were fantastic and an absolute credit to the N.H.S, absolutely nothing was too much trouble.

Sending much love and respect, God bless you all. Thank you.
